The Blues boss travelled to the capital yesterday following his calls for the club's owner to end the uncertainty that has engulfed his managerial reign.

Moshiri made it clear no decision has yet been made regarding Allardyce's future, but the club will not make any public statement of support either.

Allardyce has never enjoyed a rapport with the Goodison support, and that relationship became increasingly fraught in recent weeks, following a series of uninspired performances, and booing from the terraces.

Things came to a head after a club survey of their fan base asked them to rate their trust of the manager. That sparked the former England boss to seek clear the air talks.

Moshiri has already sacked Roberto Martinez and Ronald Koeman since buying a controlling interest in Everton, and appointed Allardyce in November, to assume control from caretaker David Unsworth, who remains at the club.

The veteran coach was given an 18 month contract, and also hefty bonuses for keeping the club in the Premier League - which was virtually assured by Christmas after an initial winning streak when he arrived.

But since then the fans have remained largely unmoved by his pragmatic football, and there is a groundswell of opinion against him.

Director of Football Steve Walsh is also thought to have been at the meeting, and his future too is thought to be under review, as Moshiri looks at a number of crucial decisions this summer.
